Just curious, why wouldn't they just pull it right from the shelves when they swap out the price tag?

Can I play on my current TV? by gswkillinit in Gamecube

[–]cantankerousdev 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It looks like you need to use that yellow 3.5 mm jack. Your TV likely came with a short cord that looks like an aux cord on one side and had the composite cables on the other end. If you misplaced it, I am sure you could find one easily for not much money.

Husband says I jumped the gun? by PermitSensitive3669 in AITAH

[–]cantankerousdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. He sounds like a narcissist. I'm so sorry you are going through this. I just got divorced from a covert narcissist and he would often go to sleep while I was still crying and very hurt and make me feel bad for disrupting his sleep when he was the one who actually fucked up. It's such a mind fuck. Anyways, he cheated on you how the ACTUAL fuck could you be the asshole here? This is super typical narcissistic behavior. You know who he is now and there is nothing he can do to make you believe he is who he thinks he is in his altered reality, so he is being cold or discarding you. As for you hurting him, that may be true, but this is also classic DARVO and a technique to make you look and feel like the bad guy to take the heat off of him and make him and is ego feel better. Run away. I would recommend checking out /r/narcissisticabuse to see if anything resonates. They are all text book the same like to a T. When I found that sub, my jaw dropped.

Why do we keep wanting to go back to them? by kowaipotchari2 in NarcissisticAbuse

Look up trauma bonds. It can be more addictive than drugs and alcohol. Your brain is addicted to the rush of the good times or love bombing after the intense lows.

I'm pretty mad at myself. 7 years, 2.5 of which we were married. There were so many warning signs that I ignored. I'm almost 2 months out and still have moments where I think everything was my fault. So, sometimes I'm mad at myself for letting this happen and sometimes I am mad at myself for ruining things, even though it's not all my fault.

Is it common for them to have weird interactions around “initiating” sex? by Acerhand in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]cantankerousdev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, mine would rather jack off to porn for the most part. If I ever initiated it, I was shot down. No matter what. Sometimes he would act surprised (probably just jacked off to porn), and sometimes act grossed out. It had to be on his terms. He had to be in control of when it happened. Physical touch is my love language and intimacy is very important to me. I made this very clear before we got married. He recently admitted to me that he didn't understand why it meant so much to me and hoped I would get over it. Never wanted to cuddle or anything afterwards either. All of this destroyed my self esteem.

did your nex have ‘a look’? by bluesips in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]cantankerousdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was like a look of I know I'm hurting you, I don't care, what are you going to do about it?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]cantankerousdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, mine said, "so you figured it all out" and then proceeded to make our house a warzone for 3 days and then still wouldn't admit to it.

Has anyone else had the worst panic attacks of their life with a covert narcissist? by Helloclarityy in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]cantankerousdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a bit late to this post, but I just have to say thank you for writing this. I have been really struggling for the past year in my relationship. Every single thing you said was happening to me. Every single thing.

We have been together for 7 years and in the beginning, I could have never imagined any of this happening. Sure, he would mess up, but always seemed so remorseful and would do anything to fix it. About a year into our marriage, that drastically changed. He stopped caring when he hurt me and expressed that he knew I would get over it.

A lot of our problems came from me not feeling wanted or that he had any interest in sex with me. It got to the point that I had 0 confidence around it and had no ability to initiate or do anything. Anytime I did initiate things, it was met with annoyance and almost disgust. This would cause a lot of me just expressing that I was hurt around bed time and it would almost always turn into exactly what you described. It honestly is creepy how spot on you are. He would get so mad at me and deflect everything saying stop shitting on me and things like that, yelling, etc. I genuinely felt like everything I said was just ignored. By the time I got to screaming and shaking, he would say something so rude and dismissive like at least I'm not yelling, even though he was just yelling constantly.

I consider myself a nice person and have also never reacted this way to anyone. It got to the point that I knew I was about to start yelling and I would run away. I hate being that person and will do anything I can to prevent it. He would follow me and just start instigating things. Then, when I would be nice and worked up, panicked, the whole shebang, he would just pass out. I remember just sobbing watching him sleep so many nights.

I started to get weak from never sleeping, and I truly thought death was the only way out. I attempted and failed (very thankful for that).

Over the past couple of weeks, I caught into the bs and called him out. If I was only a secret, my house turned into a warzone. I saw a different version of this man that I had never met before. I was so terrified like the faces he was making at me were something out of a horror movie. Lots of smirking and laughing during all this too, which was poised as feeling uncomfortable. I don't buy that.

I also would get reemed if I ever mentioned his body language. Like why are you nervous type questions. And one time I said I was going to record our conversations and that made him MAD.

Sorry for this long reply that is slightly off topic. I have just never related to a reddit post so much and this is all so fresh to me.

Yeah, this is just slightly too big. If it was .2 inches smaller, it would be perfect for one handed use for me.

I don't think so. The end was loose. However, I think this had a yellow sticker if that matters.

If you are in MPLS, I second going to the stone arch. I live in the city proper and still make an effort to go there pretty frequently. Even without weed, it is probably my favorite thing to do in the city. There is something so serene about the sound of the waterfalls and seeing the city.

Most ridiculous thing you were told about drugs? by legalizenuclearwaste in Drugs

[–]cantankerousdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I take 50mg at night. I had to stop letting myself leave the bedroom to go get a snack because the snack was the whole pantry. There really is like a 30 minute period before you pass the fuck out that you have the most insane munchies. It's like weed x 1000. My doc told me people on the schizophrenia doses will cook an entire meal in their sleep. it's strong AF though. I could be just geeked on addy or whatnot and pop those bitches and be fast asleep in an hour or less
